Structured channeling prepares you for the future and allows you to install new technologies wherever you want. By embracing structured channeling, you not only meet today's needs, but tomorrow's as well.

In order to maximize to maximize your HDTV viewing experience, an off-air antenna is an essential component, whether you choose to receive all of your HDTV signals exclusively via antenna, or use one to enhance your existing cable or satellite installation.

Open, or unused connectors and wall plates are un-terminated, and un-terminated cable or transmission lines reflect energy. Such signal reflections feed back into the main cable/satellite system, reducing both signal quality and signal to noise ratio (SNR) throughout the entire home.

The main rule is to stay away from using the same length for two or more of the room?s dimensions. The very worst shape is a perfect cube. Each dimension (length, width, height) of the room causes specific audio frequencies to be reinforced and others to be cancelled.

A small theater in my home had come together fairly well, and when my partner asked if I could build him a little home theater in his RV Bus, it seemed like the perfect gift. The concept seemed rationale; we would take a couple of components we had hanging around the office and just install them in the Bus.

Even if you only use your PDA to sync up to your workplace calendar or to store your address book, most PDAs are capable, with a little help, of helping you manage remote clutter and consolidate your home theater functions.

The ?controlling? power has been built into each individual switch and scenes can be programmed and selected from pre-programmed switches in the house. Electricians and installers no longer have to learn special wiring schemes as they can wire a house using standard AC wiring methods, and run UL rated CAT5E cable drops into each junction box.

The Submeter shows you where electrical power goes in your apartment building, office, marina, or RV park! Do you have a "smart house"? A submeter can track all of your branch circuits and report power anomalies. Read and control from any internet connection.

Expect cautious incursions into the world of deployed energy management solutions in the beginning. Eventually, however, we believe that commercial deployments in larger numbers will be the norm, at least in certain markets. After 30+ years of watching a market evolve at a painstakingly tortuous pace, the next few years should provide some interest and excitement.
